Building OpenJFX on Mac OS X 10.9.2 / XCode 5.1 / XCode 4.3.3

[Philipp Dörfler]

Thanks so much for all these valuable suggestions :)

XCodeLegacy looks interesting, I thought of the symbolic link too but assumed there was a reason and good to know that you can change that behaviour in the build itself.
Looking forward to see that in the wiki!

Cheers and have a great weekend everyone!
